The S--..-_ii_i-iie Telegraph*
A OOrreapftBdea. oi' tlie N. Y. Tribune, M>*.
Wm. I.yon, ltft» written a letter to that paper
wliich lm. attracted a eoo(1 ..e.il of attention, and
claims the bonor-of having invented the Bablest'-
ine telegraph for Mr. John S. Graven, wfce. in
t_4-l, alter a great number of persevering experiments with a variety of Substances, finally succeeded in making a cable "by insulating a wire
with gutta percba, and laying it first in the Fas*
ssiic River ; and afterwards, acroa** the North IIiv
er, between New York and Jersey City. Such a
fact Ih of great interest; and now tbat two hemispheres are connected, an*., a new era has dawned
u^ion us, by an instantaneous communication between the Old World and the New, so wonderful
ana raagnmccni. him u__ -muian miiiQ almost r_____,
to comprehend It—an event which makes fable
tame at:d miracle common-place—-the world should
not fail to do justice and to render its sw.et prai
to all those who have contributed by their genii
to thie sublime result. That Mr. Craven is the actual inventor of the cable, and first _juucce._s-t;lly
laid it beneath a body of water, there is, we suppose, no doubt. Tbe confirmation of the claim
made for him we find in the N. T. Tribune, of
April 29, 1848. which is contained in the following paragraph :
" A __.__s_i>i-_.atom Obtained.—It is known that
it has hitherto been impossible to Bend the elect"
ric fluid across telegraph wires when they were
submerged, and that peisc-vering efforts have been
made to obviate the difficulty. We learn that It
has at last been done, Mr. J. J. Craven, having
succeeded, after several experiments, in discovering a mode of conveying tbe fluid through water,
and that he has applied it with perfect success, at
the crossing of the Passaic River on the New
York and Philadelphia line. He ia alec about to
apply it to crossing the Hudson from Jersey City
to this side.''''
It ie not often that inventors aud discoverers
can find so coinplele a recognition of their claims
and merits by contemporary witnesses as this.
And now that time has made manifest the immense importance of these early labors of Mr.
Craven in the science of telegraphing, let the
world be none the less generous in acknowledging his claims.
Mr. Craven ie, we understand, still a resident of
Newark. At the time of his experiments on a
submarine cable he was in the employ of Professor
Morse, but he afterwards acquired a professional
education, and is now a very succesrful physician
at Newark.
P.'1-..uni.-vT Buck as* an Waiting bis Turn at a
Wash-Bowl.—On Saturday last, President Bu-
utiuu-U nr-t-rca a. .lie J_eiay null.., or v. asuing-
ton Junction, as it is more properly called, en
route for Washington City. On passing into the
bar-room, the President threw offtiis coat and bis
white neck-cloth, carelessly pitching them over a
chair, opened his shirt collar, and tucked up bis
sleeves for a wash, conveniences for this purpose
being in the apartment. At the time, however,
both basins were occupied by two young men,
neither of whora seemed to be aware* that the
President was about. He wailed patiently some
time, when some one spoke and invited him up
stairs. He declined, however, quietly remarking
that he would " wait for his turn." And as soon
as the basins were vacated, he ■• took his turn "
in a jolly good-wash in the public bar-room. This
done, be seemed rather perplexed about the arrangement of his neck-cloth, and seemed likely to
tie bis nos*: and mouth up in it. Somebody just
then offered assistance, aud the President was
briefly equipped. At about this time a person who
hud Come into the room, sung up pretty near to
him, '■' Look here, I thought the old Prea. was to
be here to-day—." Tlie speech was cut short by
a nudge, while a momentary comical expre-eion
passed across the face of that same " old Pres."
A cigar was handed to him by a friend ; he took
a goofi satisfying drink of—not -'old rye," but
tee water, and barely fired up the cigar, when the
bell rung, and " all aboard " summoned the Chief
Magistrate of the United States to his Beat in the

The Proposed New State.—We find ia- the
Ontonagon Advocate a call for a Convention at
Ontcnagon, on the 25th of Augil'st, to consider the
propriety of forming a new Territorial government, with a view to the erection of a State, embracing the upper peninsula of Michigan, the
northern part of Wisconsin, and the Lake ffaun-
tic-s oi Minnesota.- The call is signed by twenty,
five persons residing ni Ontonagon and Marquette, Chippewa, Macki-Ao eoxw-Us, Micbig"" fyaA
St. Louis and Burnell counties, Wisconsin, and
Lake county, Minnesota. The Advocate says :
Perhaps the strongest argument that can be adduced in favor of the proposed arrangement' is the
fact tbat at every election our friends in Wisconsin aud Minnesota are actually disfranchised from
the impossibility of getting their returns transmitted in time to their present State capital, and
that the same disaster has more than once occurred to ourselves at the Presidential election.
A Western City.—Not four years sii.ee, according to the Leavenworth Times, tlie tirst house
was built in that place. Yet at this time they
have nearly 1'HIO booses within their bounds, and
a large number iu process of building, or yet to
be erected ere the season closes. It is a littleover
tliree years since the population was estimated at
one hundred ; now, it is at least eight thousand !
It has nine hotels, thirty-two groceries, eleven
baoJ-iag houses, twenty two dry goods ditto,
tweuty-lhree clothing and thirteen tailoring
cslabl.s-ti'neni?, besides other stores lor every variety ol goods', to the nuimer of about one hun-
dr.d and twenty-five, four daily and four weekly
papers, twenty "two real estat^offieos, seventy-nine
lawyers, thirty-eight doctor-Veto.
ComikgBack.—Each ves*sel returning from Victoria' brings back a considerable quantity ol goods
and ,nei*ehandi/,e, lhe Frazer river market being
overstocked. The luisaUha, which arrived lately
-at San Francisco, had a full freight and twenty-
tbree disappointed miners.
Tlie Comet,
We perceive in our exebauges numerous notices
of the Comet now visible and known as that seen
by Falucuis, in lS'SG, by whose nam': it is generally recognized among astronomer.. Some ol its
observers having noticed it in tbe N. W., after
nset, while others have located it in the N. E*
portion of the Heavens shortly after midnight,
has created the impression that there are two distinct comets now visible, the one in thoN. W, d s-
cending head downwards, white ibi. other apparently ascends from the eastern horizon, with its
coma in advance. The fact is, that the supposed
two comets which have been descried are one and
the same.
Ii the observer will consider that the plane of
t\ii. ho.ia™ ^".t tlmpiiiut i,t* pveneftfc o.>(.<-vvi.Uoii)
is at au angle to that of the orbit of the comet,
whereby the diurnal revolntiou of our own planet
brings it into view in a period of from'-iitoeel-eo
hours, he can readily understand that it will only
ba obscured from the view of observers in the
northern hemisphere during the number of hours
stated, A singular and more familiar illustration
will be that ofthe apparent revolution cf the sun
in midsummer in the northern hemisphere, where
it is well known that the sun for a sertaio period
never sets.
Now il the cotrtet cohld be seen in daylight, its
course would be noticed, from about 2 a. m. until
9 p. M., and the only interval in which it is invisible ia that when the plane of our own horizon is
intersected by that cf the comet's orbit.
The anomaly of the comet's appearing in the
evening, descending with its head of nucleus
downwards, while W'befi seen in the morning, it
appears to rise with its coma in advance, will be
most easily comprehended, by regarding the comet as a fixed star, without real motion ;- while
the earth revoltes arouutt it, tne plane of the observer's horizon being at an angle of 65<_.70 degrees. While the comet has a real progression,
and one, in fact, of immense rapidity, its orbit is
so great that its flight is only perceptible by comparing its distance from well-known planets and
stars, whose positions are well defined.
As an inducement to early rising, we will state
that its appearance is most brilliant between three
and five a. m., when it is seeu in the north-east, to
great advantage * and as it will not re appear for
several hundred years, it may repay a small sacrifice of repose, and forego slumber's golden dream
to witness it. It will gradually remain in sight
longer in the evening, and rise later in the morn*
ing, until it ultimately dep_it_ for the vast ranges
of etherial space, and possibly frequents other
systems as numerously peopled as that of Mother
Earth.—S. F. Herald.

Of the uncertainty attending the lives and
fortunes of children born to inherit the throne ol
Franee, the Paris (correspondent of tho London
Times writes .*
"Not a littlo remarkable is It to observe tbat
from the accession of Louis XIV to the present
time, not a single King or Governor of France
though none of them,-with tho exception of Louis
XVllI, have been childless, has-been succeeded at
his demise by his son. Louis XIV survived his
son, grandson, and several of his great-grandchildren, and was succeeded at last by one of the
younger children of his grandson, the Duke ol
urgundy. Louis XV survived his son, and was
succeeded by his grandson Louis XVI. Louis*
XVI left his son behind him, but that son perished
in the filthy dungeon to which the cruelty ofthe
terrorists had confiued him. The King of Rome
to whom Napoleon foi_dly hoped to bequeath the
boundless empire he had won, died a Colonel in
tbe Austrian service. Louis XVIII wa_t,' as we
have said, childless. The Duke de Berri fell by
thebaud ofan assassin in the lifetime of Charles
X ; andhia son, tbe Duke do Bordeaux, is an exile
from the land which his ancestor regarded as their
owu estate. The eldest son of Louis Phillippe
perished by au untimely accident, and his grand"
on and heir does not sit upon the throne of his
randfather. Thus, then, it appears for upwards
ol two hundred years no o_n. ofthe dynasties to
which France had been subjected has the son sue'
ceededto the throne of his father.

tbe dispatch of Mr. Buchanan. The Loudon Daily'
News says there is more of simp'e dignity in ihe*
Qo.ieirs message, but greater grasp ol thought in
the President's response, with, perhaps a dash of
ambitions -training afler effect. Tbe News say*
also, that it would have been better for the President to have omitted the last paragraph, the
Loudon Time* believes that the Ocean Telegraph
willbe the guarantee of perpetual peace between,
the two nations.

ofthe country my friends—my first start iu life

my first election to public office by the people was

The S--..-_ii_i-iie Telegraph*
A OOrreapftBdea. oi' tlie N. Y. Tribune, M>*.
Wm. I.yon, ltft» written a letter to that paper
wliich lm. attracted a eoo(1 ..e.il of attention, and
claims the bonor-of having invented the Bablest'-
ine telegraph for Mr. John S. Graven, wfce. in
t_4-l, alter a great number of persevering experiments with a variety of Substances, finally succeeded in making a cable "by insulating a wire
with gutta percba, and laying it first in the Fas*
ssiic River ; and afterwards, acroa** the North IIiv
er, between New York and Jersey City. Such a
fact Ih of great interest; and now tbat two hemispheres are connected, an*., a new era has dawned
u^ion us, by an instantaneous communication between the Old World and the New, so wonderful
ana raagnmccni. him u__ -muian miiiQ almost r_____,
to comprehend It—an event which makes fable
tame at:d miracle common-place—-the world should
not fail to do justice and to render its sw.et prai
to all those who have contributed by their genii
to thie sublime result. That Mr. Craven is the actual inventor of the cable, and first _juucce._s-t;lly
laid it beneath a body of water, there is, we suppose, no doubt. Tbe confirmation of the claim
made for him we find in the N. T. Tribune, of
April 29, 1848. which is contained in the following paragraph :
" A __.__s_i>i-_.atom Obtained.—It is known that
it has hitherto been impossible to Bend the elect"
ric fluid across telegraph wires when they were
submerged, and that peisc-vering efforts have been
made to obviate the difficulty. We learn that It
has at last been done, Mr. J. J. Craven, having
succeeded, after several experiments, in discovering a mode of conveying tbe fluid through water,
and that he has applied it with perfect success, at
the crossing of the Passaic River on the New
York and Philadelphia line. He ia alec about to
apply it to crossing the Hudson from Jersey City
to this side.''''
It ie not often that inventors aud discoverers
can find so coinplele a recognition of their claims
and merits by contemporary witnesses as this.
And now that time has made manifest the immense importance of these early labors of Mr.
Craven in the science of telegraphing, let the
world be none the less generous in acknowledging his claims.
Mr. Craven ie, we understand, still a resident of
Newark. At the time of his experiments on a
submarine cable he was in the employ of Professor
Morse, but he afterwards acquired a professional
education, and is now a very succesrful physician
at Newark.
P.'1-..uni.-vT Buck as* an Waiting bis Turn at a
Wash-Bowl.—On Saturday last, President Bu-
utiuu-U nr-t-rca a. .lie J_eiay null.., or v. asuing-
ton Junction, as it is more properly called, en
route for Washington City. On passing into the
bar-room, the President threw offtiis coat and bis
white neck-cloth, carelessly pitching them over a
chair, opened his shirt collar, and tucked up bis
sleeves for a wash, conveniences for this purpose
being in the apartment. At the time, however,
both basins were occupied by two young men,
neither of whora seemed to be aware* that the
President was about. He wailed patiently some
time, when some one spoke and invited him up
stairs. He declined, however, quietly remarking
that he would " wait for his turn." And as soon
as the basins were vacated, he ■• took his turn "
in a jolly good-wash in the public bar-room. This
done, be seemed rather perplexed about the arrangement of his neck-cloth, and seemed likely to
tie bis nos*: and mouth up in it. Somebody just
then offered assistance, aud the President was
briefly equipped. At about this time a person who
hud Come into the room, sung up pretty near to
him, '■' Look here, I thought the old Prea. was to
be here to-day—." Tlie speech was cut short by
a nudge, while a momentary comical expre-eion
passed across the face of that same " old Pres."
A cigar was handed to him by a friend ; he took
a goofi satisfying drink of—not -'old rye," but
tee water, and barely fired up the cigar, when the
bell rung, and " all aboard " summoned the Chief
Magistrate of the United States to his Beat in the
cars, and away they went to Washington— Baltimore Sun.

The Proposed New State.—We find ia- the
Ontonagon Advocate a call for a Convention at
Ontcnagon, on the 25th of Augil'st, to consider the
propriety of forming a new Territorial government, with a view to the erection of a State, embracing the upper peninsula of Michigan, the
northern part of Wisconsin, and the Lake ffaun-
tic-s oi Minnesota.- The call is signed by twenty,
five persons residing ni Ontonagon and Marquette, Chippewa, Macki-Ao eoxw-Us, Micbig"" fyaA
St. Louis and Burnell counties, Wisconsin, and
Lake county, Minnesota. The Advocate says :
Perhaps the strongest argument that can be adduced in favor of the proposed arrangement' is the
fact tbat at every election our friends in Wisconsin aud Minnesota are actually disfranchised from
the impossibility of getting their returns transmitted in time to their present State capital, and
that the same disaster has more than once occurred to ourselves at the Presidential election.

Tlie Comet,
We perceive in our exebauges numerous notices
of the Comet now visible and known as that seen
by Falucuis, in lS'SG, by whose nam': it is generally recognized among astronomer.. Some ol its
observers having noticed it in tbe N. W., after
nset, while others have located it in the N. E*
portion of the Heavens shortly after midnight,
has created the impression that there are two distinct comets now visible, the one in thoN. W, d s-
cending head downwards, white ibi. other apparently ascends from the eastern horizon, with its
coma in advance. The fact is, that the supposed
two comets which have been descried are one and
the same.

Senator I>oug_i_s on tin- Stump—A Scrap of ills
Early History,
i a speech at Winchester. III., delivered on the
7th inst., Mr. Douglas said :
■Twenty-lite years ago I entered this town on
foot, with my coat upon my arm. without an acquaintance in.a thousand miles, and without
knowing where I could get money to pay a weekh
board. Here I made the first six dollars I ever
earned in my lite, and obtained the first regu'ar
•ocupation tlmt I ever pursued. For the fjrst'time
u my life I then felt that the responsibilities of
nanhood were upon me. although I was under
ige, for'I had none to advise with and knew no
me upon whom I had a right to cal for assistance
]i* for friendship. Here I found the then settlers
ofthe country my friends—my first start iu life
was tal-en here, not only as a private citizen, but.,
my first election to public office by the people was
conferred upon me by those whom I am now addressing and by their fathers. A quarter of a century has passed, and that penniless boy stands
before you with his heart full and gushing with
the pentimeuts which such associations and recollections Dfcc.-sarily inspire."
